Mi Nombre Es Legión

Siniestro Total's song 'Mi Nombre Es Legión' delves into themes of darkness, deception, and inner turmoil. The title itself, which translates to 'My Name is Legion,' is a direct reference to a biblical passage in which a man possessed by many demons identifies himself as 'Legion.' This sets the stage for a song that explores the multiplicity of evil and its pervasive influence on humanity.

The lyrics are rich with references to various demonic entities such as Belfegor, Belcebú, Astaroth, Lilith, and Pazuzú. These names are not just random; they are carefully chosen to represent different facets of malevolence and temptation. The song suggests that these entities are not external forces but reside within us, making us our own worst enemies. The line 'Somos el que habita en tu interior' ('We are the ones who dwell inside you') underscores this idea, portraying evil as an intrinsic part of human nature.

The song also touches on themes of deception and false promises. The line 'Y sin darte nada a cambio ya soy dueño de tu alma' ('And without giving you anything in return, I already own your soul') highlights the futility of seeking power or fulfillment through dark means. The repeated invocation to 'dibuja el pentagrama' ('draw the pentagram') serves as a metaphor for misguided attempts to control or summon forces beyond our understanding, only to end up enslaved by them. The song's closing imagery of a beast rising from the sea, adorned with blasphemous titles, further amplifies the sense of an overwhelming, multifaceted evil that is both ancient and ever-present.

' Mi Nombre Es Legión' is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, using vivid imagery and cultural references to convey its message. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to inner demons and the illusion of control over malevolent forces.
